Crowd Funded Products

More and more light electric vehicles and e-bikes are launching on crowd funding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo... they tend to be lower priced, creatively designed and somewhat risky to buy and assemble. Will it arrive? Witt it work as advertised? How is it holding up?

Given every significant manufacturer is moving to batteries that are UL Listed (or equivalent), are your complete batteries UL Listed? Many cities and states are now requiring batteries be listed. In addition, I have never seen a Lithium-Ion battery claim to be "Fire-proof". Has that been independently tested and verified? Can you provide that verification?

Back in 2015, Neal Saiki (Founder of Zero MC), made a battery with replaceable cells that looked a lot like the battery in your campaign. I was a backer, but Neal pulled out and so did I. I thought it was a great idea at the time, but now given all we know about battery issues, I think it can be a dangerous proposition. Add in all the new regulations for safety, I think it is even less likely to be a successful product. I doubt any end-user serviceable multi cell battery pack could ever be UL listed and retain that listing once serviced by a novice.
